Ex Peugeot owner here, it is true, SC sucks. No more Peugeot for me.

Is your Peugeot CKD or CBU? I always get the perception that CBU will have a better fit in malaysia because we have lack of expertise in installing many continental cars like Peugeot. Maybe when it is assembled in overseas (for the new Peugeot 3008, all sales agents claim that CBU are from France itself), the overseas installer has better skills than local malaysians. Am I right in this?

But in the end regardless of CKD or CBU, problem will arise due to every 10k km servicing is done by locals and then problem will surface by them. Am I right to think like that?

Hi, so you end up still got buy this model?? I also have the same thought as you, CBU unit will have better QC compare to CKD unit.

From my friend's experience, his 408 last for 4 years (till now). Only the first year he service at SC, after confirm no problem, he straight service outside (the shop pro in service Peugeot car). Although it void the warranty, but at least don't have problem on his car.

I also plan to get this pretty car, processing loan now.

What the points having new car but with a poor after service.

And best parts, some user still saying the Peugeot SC here is still poor, lack of spare parts, skill etc. Warranty?

No, planning to get 2018 manufacturing year model and the guy in KD promised that got 2018 manufacturing year plus CBU, the only concern is that might not able to get it before CNY. as 2017 is coming to an end then after few months the 2017 model value sure drop in 2nd hand market.

What do you mean by straight service outside? Means he go to Peugeot SC for only a year then after that go out service outside even under warranty period? The thing is they say the engine oil they use for 3008 is customized by Mobil/Shell and only available in Peugeot so I think I'll stick to Peugeot for servicing, at least for 5 years.

Scare if I service outside then when got problem come they dont hold responsibility coz they say I service outside. Anyway do you mind sharing the shop that your friend visited? Maybe I can go there as well for minor repair.

No such thing for engine oil. However if you fix your car at sc, there are horror stories that the more they "fix" the more problems it has.
If you want to service outside, be prepared to void warranty. Apart from the sc, it is a dream to drive. I have a 308. Driven it for 7 years. Servicing and upgrading it at Kota Damansara.

Kota Damansara SC or outside workshop? Yea I'm just scared personnel in workshop not experienced enough to service the car, especially since it's CBU unit.

Outside workshop of course.

Ah I see. Mind sharing the workshop's name? Do you see any new 3008 on the road nowadays? Haha. Only seen one parking in damansara uptown (white) and another on the road near Seremban, but that's the lower spec version.

Why did you think it won the car of the year award in europe??? Peugeot have learnt their lesson and took out all the bad and amplify the positives attributes in the new 3008. I am thinking of getting the new 5008 when it launches here.

Bros Auto.

saw many great reviews bout this workshop across the net. thank you very much!

Just curious, how come you mentioned that it is unreliable when it is brand new? Any links that you can share where we can confirm what you said?

no need links, just my personal experience from owning the 308. not a completely new engine and transmission prevents me from giving them the benefit of the doubt with these new cars.

Oh, ok. That's a super old engine in the old 308. The new ones have been refined quite a bit already. Anyway, to each his own

So has anyone saw the new 3008 on the road before? and what's your fav colour?

I saw white in my neighbourhood deliciously sexy. However once I imagined i exhausted my annual leaves mainly in Peugeot SC couch... the bubble burst.


Just wait 3yrs+ and see whether issues prop up.

If PureTech engine range, perceptually will have better assurance.

But as long as EP6 series, need to be have mental preparation. The driver will need to have a better understanding on how the engine works to understand problems. If coming from no fuss cars and straight transition to peugeot/citroen without arming with fundamental knowledge, it will be a rude shock when hit with problems.

If really lucky, not much problem, good for the owner

basically its still the same engine with slightly different output

Yea, coming from a CRV user for almost 10 years with no problems (until recent 2 years having air cond and minor switch plug issue), I better have mental preparation for it haha.

So is the new 3008 using new engine or whatsoever? I know the 2008 is puretech. Sorry, not an expert in car specification in general.
